Abstract

Family and friends naturally maintain an awareness of each other on an ongoing basis (e.g., knowing one's schedule, health issues) and many technologies are now being contemplated to help fulfill these needs. We use findings from a contextual study along with related work to present interpersonal awareness - a spectrum that differentiates how people desire and gather awareness for individuals across three different social groupings: home inhabitants, intimate socials, and extended socials. We compare this spectrum to workplace awareness and discuss how our study findings can be used to analyze and design domestic awareness technologies.
